"Everyone of us can 'see' energy - even now - but you are no
longer  aware  of  it.  Infants  on  the other hand perceive
energy  directly. However,  as  they  get older  the 'Usher'
introduces them to the world of ordinary reality. Instead of
seeing amorphous  energy, the infant  one day will  assemble
the  energy configuration  into...a table.  A toy.  A dog. A
tree. Each time the transformation comes from the Usher.

"First  and foremost  we live   in a  world of  energy. Only
secondarily do we  live in a world of  objects. The position
of  the  assemblage  point  determines  the  reality that we
assemble of the energy.

"The  sorcerer  [presumably  unlike  the  hunger artists and
sensory deprivers] seeks to FIX  the assembly point at a new
location  [not just  move it].  To agglutinate  energy again
into new sets of 'objects' and hence into a new 'reality.'

"This world is not as important as we make it out to be. Our
language is biased;  we call it 'reality' when  it is really
only  one  of  many  modes  of  the  assemblage  point.  For
convenience though let us refer to it as 'ordinary' reality.

"Ordinarily  once the  Ushers do  their work  of helping  us
perceive the various energy configurations as 'objects,' the
assemblage  point  is  fixed  once   and  for  all  and  the
assemblage point does not move thereafter.

"We are forced to maintain a world of everyday life until we
die.

"By the way death, from  a sorcerer's standpoint, is not the
fast  process  that  it  appears  to  be.  The  glow  of the
assemblage  point fades  quickly, but  all the  other energy
strands that make  up the energy egg of  the human being can
take a long long time to  disperse. This process can also be
slowed down, for example if you were buried in a lead coffin
right after death.
